Chlorinated cobalt alkyne complexes derived from acetylsalicylic acid as new specific antitumor agents

[(Prop-2-ynyl)-2-acetoxybenzoate]dicobalthexacarbonyl (Co-ASS), an organometallic derivative of the irreversible cyclooxygenase-1/2 (COX-1/2) inhibitor acetylsalicylic acid (ASS), demonstrated high growth-inhibitory potential against various tumor cell lines and inhibition of both COX isoenzymes. With the objective of increasing the selectivity for COX-2, we introduced a chlorine substituent in position 3, 4, 5, or 6 of the ASS moiety, respectively. Increased COX-2 selectivity is desirable as this isoenzyme is predominantly related to the development of cancer and abnormal tissue growth. The new compounds were investigated in comprehensive cellular biological assays to identify the impact of the chlorine substitution at the complex on COX-1/2 inhibition, antiproliferative activity, apoptosis, metabolic activity, cell-based COX inhibition, and cellular uptake. Chlorination distinctly reduced the effects at isolated COX-1 (about 25% inhibition at 10 μM; Co-ASS: 82.7%), while those at COX-2 remained almost unchanged (about 65% inhibition at 10 μM; Co-ASS: 78.5%). In cellular systems, with exception of the 6-Cl derivative, all compounds showed notable antitumor activity in COX-1/2 expressing tumor cells (HT-29 (IC50 = 1.5-2.7 μM), MDA-MB-231 (IC50 = 5.2-8.0 μM)), but were distinctly less active in the COX-1/2-negative MCF-7 breast cancer cell line (IC50 = 15.2-22.9 μM). All complexes possess high selectivity for tumor cells, because they did not influence the growth of the non-tumorigenic, human bone marrow stromal cell line HS-5. These findings clearly demonstrate that the interference with the COX-1/2 cascade contributes to the mode of anticancer action of the cobalt alkyne complexes.

Fragment-based lead discovery: Screening and optimizing fragments for thermolysin inhibition

Fragment-based drug discovery has gained a foothold in today's lead identification processes. We present the application of in silico fragment-based screening for the discovery of novel lead compounds for the metalloendoproteinase thermolysin. We have chosen thermolysin to validate our screening approach as it is a well-studied enzyme and serves as a model system for other proteases. A protein-targeted virtual library was designed and screening was carried out using the program AutoDock. Two fragment hits could be identified. For one of them, the crystal structure in complex with thermolysin is presented. This compound was selected for structure-based optimization of binding affinity and improvement of ligand efficiency, while concomitantly keeping the fragment-like properties of the initial hit. Redesigning the zinc coordination group revealed a novel class of fragments possessing Ki values as low as 128 μm, thus they provide a good starting point for further hit evolution in a tailored lead design.
